We're not in Kansas anymore Toto...

Toto Wolff's fast, 7:03.28 fast! Two days ago, he had just completed that record lap onboard a 997 RSR and going for a second, as he hits the Fuchsroehre compression his rear right outside tire explodes. He's fine, the car, probably less so.

If you've driven the 'Ring you should be able to create a vivid mental picture of what losing a tire on that particular corner might mean for your underwear.

Scary....Its clear that not only the driver's body suffers through the Foxhole. I always feel an inch shorter after going through there. Big stress on the car too...The good thing is this video gives me one more excuse not to flat out through it in a fast car!
